Aisha Sherazi Poems

Dear Draft Box,
You are the only real friend I have,
I can say anything to you,
I can write anything to you,
...

I used to hear your voice,
Clearly in my mind,
Now I hear my own,
Tricking me, it’s mine.
...

We don’t believe in ghosts,
And we don’t believe in ghouls,
We don’t believe in vampires,
And by costumes we’re not fooled.
...

'Time to get up! ' he says,
'Five more minutes' say I,
Groaning,
Eyes tired from the late night before,
...

At night,
If I could capture your smell,
To me,
You smell of all things good,
...

The smell of old newspapers,
That reminds me of dad,
The taste of juice,
That my love has had.
...

When driving along,
Things pass by,
Right and left,
I only seem to sigh.
...

You’ve opened,
A new,
Door of pain,
More painful,
...

I think I'll treat,
My husband like my son,
Men are like big kids,
They need to have fun.
...

There is a cloud that came today,
It will not go away,
It stays above my head,
And fills me so with dread.
...
